Personally, I've always shied away from the solipsitic philosophy. I tend to have more of a realist approach. I don't like the view that whatever I perceive is true. Although solipsism solves one very difficult problem inherent in realism (namely, that one never has actual contact with the alleged outside world, only with one's own perceptions), I think it creates a whole world of its own problems.

Well, now you've made everyone -- meaning, me (in my solipsistic certainty) -- curious. What was Stripes up to this weekend? Let us all know. Come on. . .

Chuck
